Educators for Excellence (E4E)

We are a teacher-led movement ensuring that educators have a leading voice in the policies that impact their students and the teaching profession.

[Educators for Excellence (E4E) @Ed4Excellence]

It’s hard to believe that our movement to build teacher power is 15 years strong!

Every day, our members demonstrate what it means to advocate for a strengthened profession, ensuring that every student has the tools they need to thrive.

On June 15, 1982, the Supreme Court made a landmark decision in Plyler v. Doe.

This Immigrant Heritage Month, we are taking time to recognize the importance of #Plyler in our schools and communities.

"For the first time in 13 years, the state has effectively raised the foundation amount at the heart of how it funds public schools...but this year’s investment must become a permanent change to the foundation amount, not a one-time fix."

Thank you, @RepJahanaHayes, for introducing legislation to designate May 4, 2026, through May 8, 2026, as Teacher Appreciation Week!

Educators deserve to have a seat at the table at all levels of policymaking.

[Jahana Hayes @RepJahanaHayes]

Appreciating educators goes far beyond just a single week; it is reflected in our daily actions to support the profession.
During Teacher Appreciation Week, I introduced a resolution recognizing the contributions of educators, honoring their dedication to students, and emphasizing the importance of including teachers in decision-making.

E4E joined five national organizations in a letter to the House and Senate Appropriations Committee leadership on the FY27 President's Budget.

The letter asks Members of Congress to increase investment in Title II grant programs that support local efforts to diversify the teaching workforce, advance teacher leadership, and provide high-quality teacher professional development. https://t.co/g2DCkdrrA1
